I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee; a strange, beautiful place filled with unusual people including some brilliant artists and musicians who changed my life. I left Memphis to go to college at Cornell where I studied Fine Art and Philosophy. I focused on painting and sculpture, evolving from realism into abstract surrealism. By the end of my college years I experimented with performance art, filmmaking, video and finally computer animation. I graduated in 1991 and acquired an Amiga and began my computer graphic odyssey.

After college I moved back to Tennessee and built a studio and a house on a family farm
and produced a body of sculpture. As for my technique, I forged sheet steel into organic volumes and painted it with enamel and oil. I used Lightwave and Imagine to build models for sculpture and here in the woods I taught myself 3D.

I moved to San Francisco in 1994 and began freelancing. I jumped over to 3D studio and began working many small jobs. But my passion remained creating surreal animations. Soon I joined a group of techno artists known as CyberLab 7. It was through them that I became familiar with the San Francisco underground and became a VJ. We would project our video and animations at concerts and raves. Our big break came when we were contracted to do work on the feature film Virtuosity. My part of the project was to design visuals for the set of this futuristic club scene, The Media Zone.

By 1997, the VJs I had befriended and myself formed a collective known as UV99. We collaborated in a live work space and performed as VJs for countless shows, including P Funk All stars, Goldie, LTJ Bukem and toured with Crystal Method. During this time I also freelanced at several production studios, including Razorfish, Curve, and Dimensional Studios, creating animation for TV and real time 3d.

In 1999 we formed REV fx, our own production company. We created commercials for Levi Strauss, Streaming Media, Bill Graham Presents, Digicube, and Streaming Media and station IDs for Comedy Channel and the Sci Fi Channel.

The shrinking economy in 2001 dried up our work opportunities so we have decided to find work elsewhere.This is not so bad, as I would really rather spend my time designing and creating rather than running a business. The world now seems very wide open...
